Re Microsoft win 10 machines.

Don't believe Microsoft

"because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.

This is criminal.

Recycle to Linux.

Elon Musk just raided America's doomsday seed vault.

Yes, you read that right. The vault meant to protect humanity’s last defense against agricultural collapse, stripped and sabotaged.

This isn't hyperbole. The seed bunker held our future. Our protection from famine, disease, climate disasters, destroyed by reckless arrogance.

Elon Musk fired critical scientists, placing centuries of agricultural heritage at immediate risk.

America relied on those seeds. America relied on those scientists. America relied on that bunker.

62,000 unique wheat strains, 600,000 genetic lines, our lifeline in a crisis, now endangered.

Without regular care, these seeds die. Without these seeds, we lose our ability to respond to threats.

Without that ability, we lose food security itself.

This is a direct assault on humanity's survival.

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) treated our collective security as disposable, gambling with millions of lives. Farmers, families, and children. Everyone is harmed.

If you're thinking someone else will handle this, you're wrong. If you're assuming private industry will step in, you're wrong.

If you're comfortable waiting to act, you're complicit.

Apathy won't fix this, waiting won't reverse it.

You must immediately demand:
- Full reinstatement of the fired scientists.
- Secured federal funding protecting the seed vault permanently.
- Legislative safeguards ensuring this can never happen again.

Call your representatives. Share this message. Demand accountability from Musk, DOGE, and our government.

Act now, because your future depends on it. Your children's survival, planet's stability, and the nation's integrity are at stake.

It is urgent, necessary, and morally essential.

Stand up, speak out, and fight for our shared future.

It is genuinely incomprehensible to me that while trans people are being stripped of their rights, and Black people are being fired for being Black and ICE is rounding up protestors, people are trying to make “rest is resistance” a thing.

Fuck that.

Rest is important. Sure. Humans physically cannot function without it. But it’s not an act of resistance. Neither is staying hydrated. You’re going to need to raise the bar on this one.
